Steam Controller Remapper

Steam Controller Remapper

Originally https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamController/comments/1teuyj5/xbox_mode_steamless_controller/ , I’ve been putting together a tool called Steam Controller Remapper (renamed) for using the Steam Controller on Windows without needing Steam to handle everything - originally a fork from Steamless Controller, it's been kind of evolving from there and turned into it's own thing. Been kind of no lifing it for the past 2 days to get together changes, so I thought it deserved it own thread since it's just a different project than it was originally.

The big addition in this release is an Xbox Game Bar widget, so you can switch profiles and change paddle mappings in-game without tabbing out. The desktop remapper is still there for full setup, but the widget makes it much easier to adjust things while you’re actually playing.

It also does stuff like:

  • auto-switch profiles when a game launches
  • separate profiles per game
  • Detect xbox games
  • Switch input from Xinput to Steam input based on if Steam is open or not
  • DS4 emulation
  • let you add custom game folders or direct EXEs
  • install both the app and the widget from one download

Download/repo:

Why no SDL? Because this also support DS4 emulation, as far as I know I couldn't could do that with SDL.

I'm very open to suggestions on how to make it better, it's been a very fun couple of days getting it up and running.

Xbox Mode Steamless Controller

Hey fellas,

Improving on the already amazing tool, Steamless Controller (thanks ddeverill ), I made it so it seamlessly works with Xbox Mode. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a PC setup in the living room using a Windows PC for both Gamepass games and Steam games with a Steam Controller through Xbox Mode on boot, and thanks to these improvements, I don't have to do anything to switch between xinput and steam input, It just does it for me.

Release:

https://github.com/CommonMugger/Xbox-Mode-Steamless-Controller/releases

Basically, when the PC launches, if you're in the Xbox App it automatically switches to Xinput. If Steam launches it switches to Steam input, disabling the Xinput and vise versa automatically in the background.

Note: you need ViGemBus installed. Just install it before using this. https://github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus

TL:DR: Steam Controller works in Xbox Mode now:

Install this first: https://github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus

Then this: https://github.com/CommonMugger/Xbox-Mode-Steamless-Controller/releases

Be sure to set the app to start when system starts under settings -> start up apps

Happy gaming, Steam controller is great and I'm happy to be able to use it with everything now. Again, thank you ddeverill for the original fork.

Edit: Fixed rumble in xinput with the latest release.
